Ran a 2.2 Sedan LT
 
So I'm on 1-71 minding my own business actually going the speed limt when this guy is brighting me and on my ass. So I change lanes to see what all the fuss is about and it's another cobalt but an LT sedan. So he looks over as he is running beside me and starts to gun it! So I was in 5th so I downshift to 4th goin about 65 or so and walk him pretty good up to about 3 cars then I hit the brakes. I haven't "raced" lol anyone in awhile but it was funny to race a cobalt.

Cliff notes:
Guy in a sedan brights me, tries to race me and loses by 3 cars up till 100.

Also, there were no cars in front of me when I did this just to let you know.

At that speed it would have been best to shift into third. (just for future referance) but nice kill!

haha yeah it was fun haven't done that in a while. The last guy I raced was a ESI talon with a fart can. I beat him, he got a job where I work and then told another worker he blew my doors off haha. The guy told me and I asked him about it and he was like uuhhhhhhh no i didn't say that. Kinda ironic lol
